It looks like a 911, albeit one more imaginatively conceived than most cars in RUFAutomobile’s back catalogue, but the SCR is no such thing. This is Alois Ruf Jr’s vision of the ultimate rear-engined performance car. First drive review
Our first taste of the SCR comes on Bavarian roads slick with dew and peppered with the muddy trails of farm machinery. However, Ruf insists this is a car that you really can drive daily, so we should in theory be fine. And as it happens, the SCR is much easier to get along with than you might expect. The flat six fires with a pulsating gruffness that’s somewhere between shouty and deafening, but it quickly settles down and pulling away is drama-free, despite the single-mass flywheel.
The driving position isn’t as natural as that of the new 911 GT3, admittedly. It’s more old-school and upright, but at Stefan Roser’s behest, a new wheel with a longer boss is in the works, and that ought to make the geometry between rim, bucket seat and titanium pedals more intuitive. The electrohydraulic steering is stunningly light and delicate but, with lower gearing than in modern Porsche GT fare, doesn’t feel nervous. Despite this, it’s still fleet enough to load up the rear axle quickly on the way into corners, which the car slices through with complete conviction.In the damp, it’s difficult to say just how communicative this rack is, but I don’t feel nervous allowing the SCR to run right up to the kerbside on the exits of some quicker bends.
